Cosplay Cards: Kumori Con 2009 Day 2

This day we did video game characets from Final Fantasy and the Mario games.


One thing I love at the con is the guy that plays saxophone music and will play your theme when you walk by. So I got chocobo music and got to dance to it in my costume. Tobi got this too the times she was the chocobo. I did love this random balloon I got from someone because they loved my cosplay! Hehe!

This year we had trouble with everyone taking the train down and packing up all the costumes to bring all the way to Portland. A lot of Chase's costume items got left behind. Still we got nice pics of her fighting the guy from Assassin's Creed.

This was the first time I got to ride the new MAX and I don't really like their odd interior except for this photo! I always think the yellow railings look a little more like pipes. Definitely fits the Mario motif.

We didn't know this guy but he played along well. His expression is priceless. Tobi always manages to show her tummy in one of her costumes. Though the shroom did make a great pillow to take naps in. She was a favorite of the Slightly Anime Dating Game being a "prize" both as a chocobo and Toad this year where her zombie accidentally was picked again. She didn't choose him accusing him of never calling! Hehe it was a wonderful in joke for those that went last year.

I love Shawna's Toadette she was soo cute in it. It was funny cause people would call Tobi's female variant on Toad Toadette unless Shawna was there. Hehe.

Memories: Kumori Con 2008

I felt the need to add in the con I won't put up because we only used repeat costumes. If you want the cards they're in Sakura Con 2008 Day 2.

We have fallen in love with Kumori Con's Slightly Anime Dating Game. First I love that it is all ages, second it's run by guys in kilts! Haawt!

I got up as a contestant that had to answer the questions and ended up having to do a catwalk. I was worried my moogle ball would fall off but I totally went for it! I left the other girls in the dust!


Also thank you to whoever took the pictures that year for the contest! They are amazing!!











Tobi got to be the ones asking the questions and ended up with the zombie that only answered "braains." or "braains?" to every question driving the host nuts and leaving the crowd roaring in laughter! It is kinda odd to think of a zombie end up with the "prettiest yellow chicken!"

Cosplay Cards: Sakura Con 2008 Day 2

On the main day of the con we like to pull out our best outfits:

This is version two of the moogles. I was the sexy moogle and Shawna the fluffy moogle. Great thing was when people would ask me for a hug I would point at Shawna saying, "Hug the fluffy one." It worked great! But by the end of the day Shawna was a little annoyed with me.

The bootay was made by Hannah. She is very proud of that piece of construction. One of the best stories was a woman with her daughter who knew nothing about anime or video games comes up to Tobi saying, "I don't know what you are but you are the prettiest yellow chicken I have ever seen!"

I was so happy in Kingdom Hearts when Mickey got a revamp! This costume was awesome. And yes I sacrificed the scarf I made my Puck ears with to make Mickey's ears bigger. That wasn't working quite right from the simple ears she had at first. Also that keyblade! Ooh gosh was it fragile always trying to fall apart!

If you know this anime then you'll love this costume. We got some of the best pictures with it because in the anime everyone freaks out at this characters cuteness and she gets pushed over only to be found more adorable caught like a turtle on its back. Those that knew said they wanted to push her over but wouldn't so we had them take pictures where it looked like they were going to and they loved it! This was when we really started going for pictures that had a funny staged flair to them and silly crossovers!
